Hi All
Finally got it working, using the starterkit, I ran it on a freshly installed server with nothing on it but SQL and Visual studio express had no problems,
I am not sure of the reasons why as i did exactley the same steps as on my other machine.
I guess over time changeing setting, programs, installing and un-installing etc, the things you generally do on machines ,some things/setting just break and are very hard to track down.
This may not help alot of people as installing on a fresh machine is not always practical, however for me with a fresh machine the install process is a piece of cake.
Also this may not be the appropriate place to comment, but i find the idea of moderated posts very frustrating, It really breaks the spirit of community when
you post and have to wait for a moderator to accept the post. It also delays the process of sharing ideas and solving issues quickly due to the delays incured.
I cannot understand the reason for moderation before posts are accepted on a support forum.
Can moderation of posts occur after they are posted, removing banning any inapporpriate material, i am sure they are minority as from what i have seen the dnn community seems like a helpful, mature and supportive group.
Regards
